Abstract
This paper discusses the findings of a corrosion experiment which investigates a transition area which is between the lower area and upper area of the sample. In this experiment, the lower half of the sample surface is exposed to molten salt and the upper half of the sample surface is exposed to the vapors generated by molten FLiNak salt. Incoloy®800H and Hastelloy®G35® alloys and 316L stainless steel were selected for the corrosion experiment on the basis of their Cr content. The experiment was conducted at 600 °C for a period of 100 h. The results of the experiment show that, in the transition area, no abrupt change in corrosion mechanism takes place; the experiments also give us information on how the degree of degradation varies across the three areas of the samples. The experiment also showed two distinct corrosion mechanisms operating in the test samples: intergranular corrosion in the SS316L stainless steel test sample and continuous corrosion in Hastelloy®G35®. The results also show a progressive reduction in the concentrations of F, K and Na in the upper areas compared to the lower areas for Hastelloy©G35®. Cr is shown to have a critical role in the corrosion process, even when the sample surface is not in direct contact with the molten salt and is only in contact with the vapors generated by the molten salt.
